A Complete Guide To Special Effects Makeup



If you are a fan of science fiction and fantasy TV shows and movies like me then one of the facets that interests you is the makeup.

I'm talking about the creature and special wound, cut and damage makeup seen in so many movies and TV series.

How are makeup artists able to create such convincing illusions?  Have you ever wished you could perform the same magic?

Well...now you can!

Titan Books presents conceptual creations by Japanese makeup artists in its new Tokyo SFX Makeup Workshop 'A Complete Guide To Special Effect Makeup'.

Inside the colorful book you see extraordinary examples of makeup stretched to imaginative limits and full instructions (step-by-step) on how to create such effects.  

From creepy creatures to simple cuts and abrasions, each is highlighted and demonstrated with consecutive photos and precise, concise instructions.

Now that's the kind of 'makeup' work I like!
